- You can easily pick up some thick tubing from Home Depot for pennies... Electrical section should have plenty.
What I did was simply use a lot of hockey tape on the nails..it acts almost like a cushion.. lol

Ya im thinking I like the nail idea over the tubing as the tubing would have to be pretty wide to fit some of the larger guides. I also overlooked a window/door/rack on the side of the garage I was thinking of installing this in. I was hoping to have space to hang long float rods to make sure they dry out properly between uses and just so they look nice. Would hanging my rods in the sun cause damage to them?
Hey Nado
Where exactly are you planning to "hang" your rods? Are you looking for horizontal/vertical wall mount? Do you collapse your rods?
I went to Dollarama and got a pack of velcro straps that I put on the rod handle, when I take my rods apart I use the velcro to keep the tip next to the handle. I don't think you can make it out in the pic. But this is my ceiling mount, nothing pretty just fast and cheap. Mine cost me about $20 and 1 hour to build. I was too lazy to get out my router and make something decent. Let me know what your plan is.

where did u get the clamps you used there? Do the ones closer to the tip have an opening?
I used electrical conduit clamps to hold the butt end. For the tips I used my dremel and cut about 1/3 of the smaller clamps. Since there is little weight of the rods, one screw is good enough to hold it in place. For the wood I just used cheap 1x2 spruce strapping. Then I screwed the whole thing onto the floor joists. I can reach up and get my gear and there's enough clearance for me to walk under it, anyone over 6' will hit it though.....lol.

Does anyone have a good way to store rods overhead in a SUV? I made one for my Pathfinder, not easy to get the rods in but once in they never moved. I'm gonna put my CRV on the road soon and need to come up with a better method to store 4-5 rods.

That IS SUCH a better Idea than what i was thinking. Sooooo much cleaner and neater as well. I hope you don't mind but I am so going to make mine like that That could even work for a wall mount in my room. I havent decided if I wanted wall or ceiling yet. i am over 6' but we dont have a sub floor, just concrete and carpet in my room haha. Thank you for that picture!!!

NP bud. You can get stick on felt at Rona. Cut to size and stick on inside of conduit to protect rods from scratches, but not necessary b/c the conduit clamps are plastic. For a wall mount I'd want the rods to hang away from the wall so that the reel is not in contact with the wall. I'll draw one up soon. I have made and sold the floor standing rod holders, but for my place they tend to take up too much floor space.
ABS pipe comes in handy too if you have some left over, or get a small piece. Use it to make a vertical wall mount holder.
